Summary of the contracting process

Caerphilly County Borough Council is soliciting tenders for the replacement of the heating system at Newbridge Comprehensive School. This project involves removing and disposing of the existing heating system and installing a new one, specifically designed by McCann and Partners, over the next three summer vacations (2026, 2027, and 2028). The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 3rd July 2026. This project is categorised under Boiler installation and Heating engineering services and follows an open procurement method. The total estimated budget is £588,000. Work is to be phased to minimise disruption to the school, ensuring operations can continue during the regular academic year.

This tender presents significant business growth potential, particularly for companies specialising in heating installations and central-heating works. Due to the project's phased approach, SMEs with experience in project management over extended timelines are well-suited to compete. The open competition is below the threshold procurement, making it an ideal opportunity for local contractors familiar with Welsh public sector regulations to engage with a sub-central public authority. Businesses with a proven track record in managing similar scale renovations will find this opportunity advantageous for showcasing their expertise and enhancing their portfolio within the public sector.
